Need programmer to help with registering URL handlers

techpersonwanted · Post by **techpersonwanted** » Mon Jul 27, 2009 8:34 pm

We are looking for a Revolution programmer who can build a simple standalone that registers itself on Mac OS X and Windows so that a link clicked in a web page or email on the users computer will launch the standalone and pass it parameters, similar to the iTunes links in web pages that launches iTunes:

http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZSt ... 8&s=143441 <http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZSt ... 8&s=143441>

All we need is for the parameters to show up in a simple text field, we can take it from there.

Please reply to this posting or send a private message.

This came up on the use-rev list today, and the result seems surprisingly easy thanks to some pointers from Trevor:

Keep in mind that above message is spam. Don't click the link.

The post from "Sylvie808" is spam, but has no link.

The link in the original post isn't spam; I know the author. Nor was mine.

Which link should we avoid?

Mark · Post by **Mark** » Fri Sep 04, 2009 7:56 pm

The link in the signature/profile, naturally.

Aye, the one that Heather has tidied up.

Mark · Post by **Mark** » Fri Sep 04, 2009 10:11 pm

No. I wonder why the moderators haven't removed that post yet.

SparkOut · Post by **SparkOut** » Fri Sep 04, 2009 10:17 pm

Because once someone replies to the thread, the post can't be removed, I believe. Heather has removed the spam link, but can't delete the post itself because that would (now that there are subsequent posts) break the whole thread.

Mark · Post by **Mark** » Fri Sep 04, 2009 10:18 pm

Nope, messages can always be removed and nobody removed any links.

SparkOut · Post by **SparkOut** » Fri Sep 04, 2009 10:24 pm

Well which spam link are you talking about then?

Mark · Post by **Mark** » Fri Sep 04, 2009 10:26 pm

I admit, the spammer tried to be subtle, but I'm sure you can figure it out, as can the moderator.

SparkOut · Post by **SparkOut** » Fri Sep 04, 2009 10:32 pm

Well, aye. There've been a spate of spam posts of that ilk lately. I've mentioned them to Heather and she's hit them with the spam killing stick.
I do believe that if there is a post after the "spam" post, it will be very awkward for the mods to delete that individual one. Not certain that it will "break" the thread, but I think it's hard enough to make it more desirable just to delete any links rather than the post itself. That's what I believe happened with Sylvie's post.

While studying the supposed spam post, I noticed that the text just got colored WHITE. Because when you hilite the post area, you can see the text. Just trying to share my insight.
